The trick flow R series will make about 25 more horsepower than the GT40. The trick flow will also make slightly more HP than the Holley. The Holley will have a fatter torque curve than the TFS below 5500rpms. But to answer your original question. The TFstreet burner is probably a wise purchase for the same money as the GT40.

what is the rest of the build that the intake will be sitting on top of??

very good question

I don't know yet.

that's why I said an intake that will keep the doors open for me for the future.

I would say 300-500$ for cams and 1200-1600$ for heads.

I have done some reading and from what I could understand trickflow will keep all the doors open for me that's why my first option is trickflow but I need to do some reading about holley I know very little about them.

so with that budget in mind I guess pick whatever you want that keep the car very drivable and street legal.

Trying to piece it together a little at a time is difficult but I personally think you'd be better off going a little bigger on the intake like the trickflow "R" or the Holley. That way if you decide to put a killer set of heads on it down the road your set up for it. And the $1600 you mentioned will get some pretty decent heads! You wont see optimal gains right now but down the road a good Heads/Cam/Intake combo will get you a very fun low 12 second car. I originally went with the "R" series because I thought it would be a good fit on the 363. Then I said F%&k it and went with a carb. So much for planning.

get a holley systemax 2 and send it to TMOSS over on the corral.net and have him port to match tfs tw 170 heads and contact ED at www.flowtechinduction for a cam, get a full exhaust on the car at least 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 headers and 2 1/2 to 3 inch from the headers back roller rockers and all the other typical bolt ons and you shound have an easy 300-325 at the rear wheels
